Incredibly stupid. If that was a 15 yard penalty, which it easily could have been, it would have cost the team the field position required for the field goal. Even the five yards could have been significant.
It was not worth anything. Even the five yards could have been a serious deal. And while his strip was the difference maker from a positive standpoint, he could have nullified it with the penalty yardage.
He's got to be a more mature player.
However, this was the guy that they drafted. Amazing talent, but there was the chance that his kind of stuff could happen.
And he was getting roasted by the Carolina offense for a lot of the game, especially early. He also dropped a sure pick six.
Other than the strip, he didn't have a very good game and could have offset the strip/field position with penalty yardage on a seriously bone headed play that didn't and shouldn't have happened.
I love his passion. It makes him the player he is, but he's got to get smarter and play the game in a more mature fashion to truly be great, which he can be.
